Watching the rain

Little bit was very into watching the rain on Friday.  She also just had to be standing on the window sill.  She loves climbing on chairs, tables, window sills, couches, her toys, her wagon.  If she can get up there she will try.  You can see her Central Market balloon in her hand, and she'll carry that around with her until it pops.  She has a bit of a balloon obsession and we went to a birthday party on Friday morning where she joyously passed the time tangled up in a mass of balloons.

Typical Friday Night

We usually stay home on Friday nights because they can be hectic at the end of a work week, but if we don't, you'll usually find us hanging out with our good friends and their kiddos.  It is fun to watch the little ones run around and crack each other up.  At any one of our houses there is a poor dog or two who is subject to a little torture (but you know they love the attention!) We are so thankful for our sweet friends!

Dragosaur

Last year, my sweet little baby was a giraffe for Halloween.  She was adorable in her little outfit and I loved snuggling my then two month old.  This year, she has turned into a monster.  A cute as can be, tantum throwing, white haired monster (because everyone comments on the hair, I will too.)  So, while my friends little girls dressed up as sweet little pigs and lambs and kitty cats, Lily dressed up as a dinosaur (but Phil and I like to call her a dragosaur for fun, hence the blog title.)  Thanks to our little friend Campbell for so generously lending us his costume from last year.  It totally fit her personality and it was hilarious to see her marching around the neighborhood shaking her tail feather.  We love this girl!

 One tantrum, coming right up!

 Ta-da!

 Back to happy. :)

Mike and Melissa's Wedding

A couple of weekends ago we attended the sweet and cozy wedding of our friends Mike and Melissa.  It was very small and intimate and just perfect!  The wedding was at the botanical gardens in Fort Worth and the reception was at Mike and Melissa's house.  The weather could not have been better and we relaxed outside with good friends that we don't get to see often enough.   Phil and I enjoyed our baby free day while Lily hung out with Mimi and Pops.

 I'm very sad here about Phil having gone out and purchased the same exact pair of sunglasses as me. :|

 Typical Katri look

Not going to do it

Lately Lily has been such a busy body that she won't even pose for the camera.  It is fun to watch her explore the world around her, but it is difficult to keep her out of trouble and get decent pictures of her anymore.  I think I'm going to have to enlist Phil to safeguard her while I shoot from now on.  The whole time I was taking these pictures I sounded like a broken record going "Lily, LIIIIIILLLY!  Quack, quack, quack.  Lily!!!"  I'm sure I looked and sounded like a lunatic, but as you can see, she pretty much refused to look at me.  I felt like she was the little boy named Michael on Elf when Buddy is jumping up and down outside of his school calling "MICHAEL!!!"

Just my cutie pie

White Rock Farmers' Market

There is a little farmers' market every 2nd and 4th Saturdays in our area and we've been meaning to check it out for a while.  We finally did this weekend and it was a fun family outing.  We came home with lots of yummy fruits and veggies, tamales, some delicious pomegranate balsamic vinegar, cheese, fresh herbs and a couple of headbands for Lily that I'm sure she will pull out as soon as I put them in.  We'll definitely be back!
